Tuchel saying that we got unlucky is actually pathetic

Does anyone know what Müller meant with his comment on the fans? Just that they should have played better or something more?
The trebel might be in danger

The DFB Cup is a different animal. The Saarbrücken fans brought it all night and deserve props. Sometimes, getting exposed like this will humble egos and help build team mentality. Tuchel has his work cut out.
Tuchel....
I gotta say - I usually defend Tuchel but this was a coaching disaster. Arrogance in bringing new formations. Tel and Müller from beginning is what most of you wish for but imho is the absolutely wrong decision here. Both can bring power and motivation from the bench (especially Müller). We say in Germany „Der Pokal hat seine eigenen Gesetze“ (the cup has its own laws) - it is a mentality fight very often - something we missed in the last years and thus were out early. Like yesterday. We should have taken this more seriously - no one played at even 70%. The worst part for me was when they were actually KO the last 20 minutes - how can we fail to score there and how did we not sub in Kane?
Well, atleast we beat Kopenhagen and Mainz though amiright!!
Football is great because any prepared 11 guys with decent level can fight for a win against supposedly better teams.
This is basic cup knowledge, small teams will have a huge motivation against big names, so we can only put the blame on Tuchel for not putting his strongest XI OR to decide to play a full sub XI that want to fight for a starting spot in BuLi.
The pitch was horrible but this is also very common in cup games.
